Dr. Austin O'Carroll:

There are four things I would ask for. The first is reduce the length of homelessness through pushing the Housing First policy. That is the most important one. Second, there are interventions to reduce overdose that we know of and need to expand, such as the use of naloxone. We know the supervised injecting incentive is coming down as so the committee should make sure they happen. The third is increased health supports in private emergency accommodations. The HSE has already got nurses in there and is looking at getting GPs. It is just to make sure that happens but I know it is in process. The fourth one is the mental health team for dual diagnosis for which we have been asking for a long time. Deputy Ó Broin asked for three actions but I am giving him five. The last one is the critical incident analysis in order that we can start learning from individual deaths.
